The stories are told on social media and in television footage, showing desperate relatives pleading for oxygen outside hospitals or weeping in the street for loved ones who died waiting for treatment. https://to.pbs.org/3aF5RWw


Smoke billows from dozens of pyres lit inside a parking lot that has been turned into a makeshift crematorium, after India’s capital was gripped by a deadly wave of the pandemic that has deluged its hospitals and crematoriums equally.

The Magus 中譯的不足處(兩例)

Tony 問:有沒有聽說過 外國成語中有「翻譯就是叛逆」之說?
HC跑腿:
From time to time, criticism can be made of the act of translation. ... in the Italian expression Traduttore, traditore - every translation is a betrayal.

這當然有點言重了-- 因為通常的翻譯只能考慮多義文本的某一面向 (所以或可採用注解之方式來
補充說明...)


這對雙關與或更複雜的詩文遊戲都一體適用
我們舉SIMON U 的一些朋友最近談的某些例子來說明

"牌子上刻著海明威在《流動的饗宴 》中的一句話:「這就是我們年輕時的巴黎;雖然窮,卻很快樂。」......晚年的海明威曾說:「要是我那時候死了就好了。」唉!"


HC說: 昔日即指出台灣版翻譯此"書名"雙關語未提其玄機

我們或可以討論第一章之一處"雙關"之翻譯處理

He took my mother with him. Their plane crashed, a high-octane pyre, in a thunderstorm some forty miles east of Karachi.

John Fowles 用" pyre ━━ n. 火葬用の薪の山."是適合印度-巴勒斯坦的情境之用語 不是中文本的火葬(它有許多種方式)可盡說明 而 high-octane 更有點玩世不恭味道
